[MC-87713] Command block dispensers don't work

You used to be able to put a command block with an NBT tag in a dispenser, power the dispenser and have the dispenser place down the command block. I tested it today for the first time in ages and it seems to be broken. I built an entire minigame around this concept some time ago so I hope it's a bug and they'll fix it 😞

edit I tested some more, it stopped working in 1.8.6, in 1.8.5 it still worked.

This feature was intentionaly removed because of big exploits on servers.

Reference: http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/158000/is-there-a-way-to-place-a-command-block-with-a-command-in-a-chest-and-or-dispens

If you want a simmilar feature use the new 1.9 command blocks.
